Traveling the Primordial World with Nuwa

Time is immeasurable in the Primordial World. Ming Xin's journey had been long, unaware of the changing seasons.

He had seen the stern fortifications of Demon Race cave mansions; he had calmed the restless Earth, Fire, Water, and Wind, and had also transcended countless mountain spirits, wild ghosts, and the souls of ancient battlefields.

His Dao cultivation, tempered by the trials of the mortal world and the deductions of the system, grew ever more profound and harmonious. The realm of Late Golden Immortal of the Origin was now completely stable, advancing toward deeper levels.

On this day, he arrived near the ruins of Buzhou Mountain. Pangu's pressure was solemn, and the Ancestral Vein of Ten Thousand Mountains made the spiritual energy here abundant, with a natural Dao rhythm.

Just then, a figure, elegant and unworldly yet containing supreme creative power, descended gracefully from the cloud summit, landing not far ahead of Ming Xin. It was Nuwa.

She seemed to have just emerged from comprehending some secret realm, her body flowing with Dao rhythm, possessing a natural affinity with all things in heaven and earth. Her beautiful eyes held contemplation of creation and a hint of inquiry.

Her gaze fell on Ming Xin. She was first slightly startled, then revealed some surprise and curiosity.

"Fellow Daoist Ming Xin?" Empress Nuwa spoke, her voice clear and melodious. "It has been a long time. Your demeanor surpasses the past.

Just now, I sensed a strange Dao rhythm from afar—neither Mysterious nor Buddhist, seeming to contain the myriad forms of the mortal world, yet also holding the wonder of time-space reincarnation. It turns out you were here."

Ming Xin stopped, bowed with clasped hands, neither humble nor arrogant: "Greetings, Fellow Daoist Nuwa. Your sage reputation, Fellow Daoist Nuwa, I am unworthy. It is merely a small gain from fragments of the Jade Disk of Creation, slightly scratching the surface."

Empress Nuwa's eyes glowed slightly. She was most interested in all kinds of novel Great Daos, especially those related to creation and life.

She carefully examined Ming Xin, feeling increasingly that this person was unfathomable. Compared to the time of the Chaos struggle, his aura was more restrained, yet also more profound.

Especially that strange sensation of seemingly existing simultaneously in the past, present, and future—it stirred a resonance even in her, a Perfected Quasi-Saint.

"You are too modest, Fellow Daoist." Nuwa smiled slightly, asking with great interest, "The Dao rhythm I sensed just now does not seem to be singular.

Rather, it contains a certain wonderful 'differentiation' and 'unity'—seemingly... an external incarnation, yet essentially one, extremely mysterious.

Could this be the fundamental basis of the 'Red Dust Domain' divine ability you displayed in Chaos? I wonder if you could enlighten me?"

As the Master of Creation, her eyes were keen, directly pointing out the special aspect of Ming Xin's Three Lives Method.

Ming Xin's heart stirred. He knew he could not hide from a Sage's Dharma Eye, and Empress Nuwa bore him no enmity; they had even met once before.

He pondered briefly, then said frankly: "Your Dharma Eye is like a torch, Empress. This is what I, your junior, have comprehended—the 'Three Lives Method.' I sever the past, present, and future bodies, each holding a Dao, jointly realizing the origin."

"Past, present, future..." Nuwa repeated softly, her eyes sparkling with brilliance, as if seeing a new realm perfectly aligned with her Dao.

"Coexistence of three lives, comprehending reincarnation, observing the changes of all beings... This Dao has infinite wonderful uses for comprehending creation, understanding the trajectory of life evolution, and even deducing the changes of the Heavenly Dao!"

She grew more excited as she spoke, her gaze at Ming Xin filled with the joy of discovering a treasure: "Lately, I seem to have encountered a bottleneck on the path of creation.

I have been pondering how to advance further, perfect the path of life, and even deduce the method to attain the Origin.

Seeing your method today is truly Heaven's will! I wonder if I could invite you to travel together for a time, roam the Primordial World, and discuss the Dao?

I am extremely curious about your Three Lives Method."

A Perfected Quasi-Saint Great Power, so frankly expressing curiosity about a non-sage method and extending an invitation—this was an extremely rare event in the entire Primordial World.

It showed that Ming Xin's Three Lives Method had indeed given Nuwa great inspiration and insight.

Ming Xin's heart also stirred. Discussing the Dao with a Sage was a heavenly opportunity.

Empress Nuwa governs creation. Her insights into life, creation, merit, and other aspects were the ultimate of the Primordial World. It would bring incalculable benefits to perfecting his mortal world, reincarnation, and even system construction.

Moreover, building good relations with a future Sage would greatly benefit the future development of the West.

He gladly agreed: "Your kindness, Fellow Daoist, I am deeply honored. To receive your guidance on the wonder of creation is a heavenly opportunity I have been seeking."

Empress Nuwa heard this, and her smile widened: "Good! Then, you and I shall travel together for a time."

Thus, within the Primordial World, a strange combination appeared: one was the noble future Heavenly Dao Saint Governing Creation, the other was a Western Golden Immortal of the Origin of rising fame, bearing extraordinary arts.

The two traveled together, roaming famous mountains and great rivers, among the mortal world.

Sometimes they discussed the Dao on cloud peaks. Nuwa expounded the wonder of creation, the marvel of life evolution, the method of merit condensation—words followed by Dharma, golden lotuses erupting from the ground, phantoms of celestial maidens scattering flowers.

Ming Xin shared the mysteries of the Three Lives Method, spoke of the vast mortal world, the influence of the seven emotions and six desires on the nature of beings, the tempering of the true spirit imprint through cycles of reincarnation.

He even used his future self's deduction to share fragmented visions of the rise and fall of races and the changes of civilizations.

The Dao of the two—one creates and bestows life forms, the other perceives the inner emotions and fate trajectories of life—was unexpectedly complementary. Whenever they discussed subtle points, both felt they gained greatly, often having a feeling of sudden enlightenment.

They walked in the Primordial World. When they saw weak and kind races, Ming Xin would often send down a seed of the Western Teachings' doctrine, helping them perfect their Dao.

Empress Nuwa observed but did not stop him. She just smiled and said: "Your method, spreading belief, is quite unique."

Ming Xin smiled in response: "All beings suffer. They need belief to comfort the soul and guide people to goodness. This is also merit."

On the way, they also encountered demon kings causing chaos and demonic cultivators running amok. Often, Nuwa did not need to act; Ming Xin's main body had already stepped forward.

"Killing to protect life, severing karma, not people!" The Five Elements Divine Light swept down, imprisoning an area.

The White Bone Life-Death Sword rose, its fierce killing sword intent only severing those entangled in karma, not harming innocent beings in the slightest.

His methods were decisive and ruthless, yet carried a strange sense of "compassion" and "order," which made Empress Nuwa nod inwardly, gaining a deeper understanding of this child's nature and Dao path.

During one discussion about the future trends of the Primordial World, Ming Xin's Future Self Phantom briefly manifested, deduced with threads of fate, and vaguely pointed out: "The Heavenly Dao has constancy, but also variables.

All beings multiply, cause and effect intertwine. I fear Sha Qi will arise, calamity will come. We need to plan early."

Empress Nuwa heard this, and a grave look flashed in her sage eyes. She pondered for a long time, then sighed and said: "What you see, Fellow Daoist, coincides with what I have felt recently.

After creation comes protection. This is also my Great Dao."

The two traveled together, unaware of how many years passed. Ming Xin's understanding of creation and merit advanced by leaps and bounds. The Three Lives Method operated more harmoniously, and the system database collected vast amounts of precious data on the creation of life.

His computational and deductive abilities greatly improved. Meanwhile, Empress Nuwa also gained countless inspirations from Ming Xin's Three Lives Method and the path of mortal world reincarnation.

She developed deeper thoughts on the emotions of beings, the rise and fall of civilizations, and even how to respond to great calamities. Her stagnant cultivation even showed faint signs of loosening.

On this day, they arrived at the shore of the East Sea, seeing towering waves and the flourishing aquatic races of the Primordial World. Nuwa stood by the East Sea, murmuring to herself: "Now, with the Witch-Demon War, the beings of the Primordial World are suffering. Why is there no race born inherently peaceful?"
